Visual arts and design

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The area of visual arts and design is extremely broad. Essentially, it is any art that you can see, excluding human performance. Such forms of art fall into other categories such as theater, music, or opera, although there is really no clear boundary; see body art and interactive art, for example, or consider film, which can incorporate most other kinds of art.
